BRAKES OVERHEATING in red bold letters!

Hi There...

I've been taking my SL55 AMG to the Moroso race track in Florida, and by the end of the day, I got, in red bold letters, 'BRAKES OVERHEATING, Drive carefully" I did change the brake fluid to Motul 600 before the event.. do anybody have any suggestion? should I change the pads?

Well, the first thing I'd do is teach your car to spell! They're BRAKES!!!, not BREAKS!!!!!!!

Car is very heavy........4250 lbs.........Moroso is a fast track........brakes will suffer accordingly............

Pads will not do it............your braking technique may need work.........do not "slam" the pedal................"feel" it.........
